CURRENT MISSION

Looking for a city to love and way to move there...

ABOUT ME

I'm easy going, sociable, and respectful. I know a lot about science, the human body, and medicine and am keen to share my knowledge in exchange for yours. I am a crappy guitar player but I play anyway. I like to sing. I'm a yes man. I love being active and doing things outdoors. I have a primal desire to climb anything climbable and will scramble anything remotely safe. I'm keen for new adventure and I'm quick to make new friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Find out what you love. Then find a way to do it for the rest of your life.

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just finished a tour of 12 US cities during December-January for various interviews. I coulda done the hotel thing I suppose, but there's really no better way to learn about a city than to stay with a local! Plus, I got to meet great people that I would most definitely consider new friends.

Been traveling for the past two months and it's been incredible. Started by couchsurfing through Iceland then Turkey. Meandered my way through Hungary, Czech Republic, Spain, Norway and now Sweden In May, I'll be traveling through Bali and Vietnam and in July I'll be in Columbia and Brazil. I hope to make many new friends and expand my evergrowing CS network. I'll be moving to sunny, snowy Salt Lake City in June and will be happy to host once I get my living situation sorted out!

I'd be happy to host anytime I am residing in a place for an extended period of time. Come to Minneapolis!! It's an awesome city.

I'm just getting started...
Looking forward to where this goes!
